Garyvee, AOC, Joe Rogan. These are the biggest media companies of our time, and this is only just the beginning. I believe there is a shift of the torch regarding what the consumer cares about. For the last 20 years, everything has been free and we have ran out fo attention to give new things. If it's not on our phone, we probably don't care. But I think people are sick of this dynamic and there is a shift happening. I predict paying for things that are high quality will come back in fashion, and there is no better time than to teach people how to build their own brand than right now! The age od the ad is gone. The age of the subscription is here. Let's make some money :)

“One person media company” sounds like a fancy way to refer to influencers

@tycooperaow Influencers make money from sponsorships/ads. One person media companies make money from subscriptions.

@mat_sherman That's not entirely true. There's no fine-line as to which influencers receive their income. Influencers, content creators, and other artisans do often provide subscriptions services as well

@nadav21 +1 Especially with the rise of substack, newsletters, and everyone being locked at home, excited to see the future of Quad @mat_sherman

Mat, love this! I think we've been moving towards this for a while now, so it's great to see someone take a proper crack at it. Building distribution channels as one-person media companies is a HUGE personal moat for founders and other creators.

@abnux People need moats too, you know! The best way to build a moat is with distribution! You're spot on.

@jernigan Thank you so much Andrew!

Great idea @mat_sherman I've just subscribed to get a Newsletter syllabus. I guess, my question would be what's the platform you're targeting right now? Building an audience for a personal newsletter through Twitter or messengers like Telegram could be really different.
